Fast Fashion
- Fast fashion can be defined as cheap, trendy clothing, that samples ideas from the
catwalk or celebrity culture and turns them into garments in high street stores at
breakneck speed.https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/what-is-fast-fashion
- Fast fashion utilizes trend replication, rapid
production, and low quality materials in
order to bring inexpensive styles to the
public. Unfortunately, this results in harmful
impacts to the environment, human
well-being, and ultimately our wallets.

- IMPACT TO THE ENVIRONMENT
- The environmental damage, which the fashion
industry continues to create, is in large part due to
fast fashion. Brands like Forever21 use toxic
chemicals, dangerous dyes, and synthetic fabrics
which seep into water supplies in foreign countries
(where the clothing is made) and at home when the
clothing is washed. https://www.thegoodtrade.com

- Polyester is the most popular fabric used for fashion.
But when polyester garments are washed in domestic
washing machines, they shed microfibres that add to
the increasing levels of plastic in our oceans. These
microfibres are minute and can easily pass through
sewage and wastewater treatment plants into our
waterways, but because they do not biodegrade, they
represent a serious threat to aquatic life. Small
creatures such as plankton eat the microfibres, which
then make their way up the food chain to fish and
shellfish eaten by humans.

- The fashion industry is a major water
consumer. Huge quantity of fresh water are
used for the dyeing and finishing process for
all of our clothes. As reference, it can take up
to 200 tons of fresh water per ton of dyed
fabric.

- The heavy use of chemicals in cotton
farming is causing diseases and
premature death among cotton
